Universal COM Suite

All of Desaware's COM components, with full source code

SpyWorks- SpyWorks lets you use low
level system features that you're isolated from by
Visual Basic 6. SpyWorks lets you break through those
limits without paying for high priced C++ development.
New version 8.0

NT Service Toolkit (COM edition) -
Write true Windows services using Visual Basic 6. It's
so powerful and easy to use we've seen C++ programmers
switch to VB just to build services using this toolkit.

StorageTools - Need to store data
in a file? If a database is too big, and XML too
awkward, StorageTools may be the ticket.

File Property Component - An easy
to use component for reading and writing the file
properties of any file.

Desaware ActiveX Gallimaufry - An
eclectic set of components written in Visual Basic: for
example: one component reads images from scanners or
digital cameras.

VersionStamper - Cut deployment and
support costs by eliminating "DLL-Hell". We've had
customers tell us that VersionStamper pays for itself
the first time they use it.

Custom Control Factory - Our
original animated button control.

Legacy VBX Products - Desaware COM
Universal also includes full source code for our
original 16 bit VBX products including SpyWorks-VB,
CCF-Cursors and the Custom Control Factory. An essential
item for those supporting very old (>8 years)
applications.

You get Desaware's complete line of COM components -
essential for both ongoing and legacy support with VB6, and
offering easy migration to .NET when you're ready. Solutions
for today, that you know you'll be able to support 20 years
from now.

Licensing System

Flexible and secure software licensing for
.NET developers

Try the licensing system that adapts to your needs
instead of demanding compromises. With Total Control
Licensing by Desaware, your ability to license and control
applications, services and components that you distribute is
limited only by your imagination.

Activation web service runs on any IIS machine,
including most hosted sites.

Incredibly easy to use. Learn and deploy in minutes.

Tie into the database of your choice, or use the
automatic defaults.

End to end cryptographic security eliminates the
need for "secrets".

Supports .NET 1.1 through .NET 4.0

Seamless IntegrationDefine your user experience:

Licensing is one of the first things your customer
experiences. Should their experience be defined by our
system, or seamlessly integrated into your software? It’s up
to you.

This web-service based system is easy to integrate into your
existing systems, or any external CRM, Ecommerce or
other software system.

Adaptable SecurityAdjust your security level:

Learn how passive activation can provide excellent security
without annoying users – by letting human nature work for
you instead of against you.

Or implement a more traditional activation scheme.

Desaware let's you set your own balance of security vs.
convenience.

Rich Feature SetCustomise your feature set:

Built-in features like demos, subscription, module licensing
and so on are fine. But if we’ve learned one thing over the
years – you can’t anticipate every need, and trying to do so
leads to a system that is overly complex and potentially
vulnerable.

Our new extensibility API allows you to quickly implement
the features that you need, without compromising the
stability and security of the overall system.

Prepackaged and Custom ScenariosDefine your scenario:

Whether your licensing needs are simple, or you have a
complex scenario in mind, our infrastructure can almost
certainly be extended to handle it.

Implement one of our standard scenarios, or define your own
– the Desaware Licensing System is a foundation you can rely
on.

New for Version 2.0Choose your favourite version 2 feature:

Do you want to define features? Modules? Unlock modules
using passwords? Our new metadata system allows you to
specify any number of variables of almost any data type
(including those you define).

Do you want to license by machine? User? Domain? Cheap
dongle? You name it, we'll license it.

The version 2.0 extensibility model lets you add features
without touching the core licensing code.
